3.1 All wagering decisions are entirely the responsibility of the individual subscriber.
3.2 Subscribers are under no obligation to place any wager based on APB information.
3.3 Any decision to follow, modify, ignore or act upon our selections, ratings, staking suggestions or analysis is made independently and entirely at the subscriber's discretion and risk.

4.6 Subscribers must not use APB services to facilitate unlawful wagering or circumvent any applicable wagering restriction or self-exclusion arrangement.
5. No Guarantee of Results or Profitability
5.1 Horse racing is unpredictable. Every selection published by APB is an opinion based on analysis, available information and our assessment at the relevant time.
5.2 No selection, Best Bet, Best KO, Special, Battler Rating or other classification guarantees a winning outcome.
5.3 Past performance is not a reliable indicator or guarantee of future results.
5.4 Historical profits, strike rates, dividends, returns, ratings, statistical results and profit-on-turnover figures are records of past performance and must not be interpreted as assurances of future profitability.
5.5 APB makes no guarantee that subscribers will recover their subscription fees, betting expenditure or any other costs associated with using our services.
5.6 Subscribers acknowledge that substantial losing periods may occur, including periods in which no selections are successful.
5.7 APB accepts no responsibility for the financial outcomes of any wagering decisions made by subscribers, except to the extent liability cannot legally be excluded.
6. Odds, Prices, Ratings and Historical Data
6.1 APB makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate racing information, selections, statistics, historical records and prices.
6.2 However, racing and wagering information is subject to change, including odds movements, deductions, scratchings, race conditions, markets, bookmaker restrictions, abandonment and official result amendments.
6.3 Quoted prices may include the odds available when a selection was originally identified or communicated to subscribers ("When Tipped"), historical fixed odds, Best Tote Starting Price ("BTSP") or another clearly identified pricing measure.
6.4 These are different pricing measures. The inclusion of any price does not constitute a guarantee that a subscriber can obtain that price.
6.5 Historical BTSP results are used as an objective performance benchmark where stated. Actual prices received by individual subscribers may vary according to their bookmaker, account eligibility, product availability, timing, settlement rules and other factors.
6.6 Historical results, statistics and profit calculations may use illustrative staking models. Such results do not necessarily reflect individual customer returns, actual subscriber betting activity, wagering restrictions, fees or subscription costs.
6.7 APB does not guarantee the accuracy, availability or completeness of third-party racing information, including prices, dividends, race fields, scratchings, results or market movements.
6.8 Subscribers should independently verify all relevant information with official racing authorities and their licensed wagering operator before placing a bet.
6.9 Where an error in published content or historical information is identified, APB may correct, clarify or update that information.
7. Memberships, Packages and Payment
7.1 APB offers various paid and complimentary services. Packages may include Victorian, New South Wales and South Australian racing, Queensland racing, Western Australian racing, Quaddie Killer and other specialist racing products.
7.2 The price, duration, scope and inclusions of each package will be displayed or communicated before purchase.
7.3 All advertised prices are in Australian dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.
7.4 Payment must be completed through an accepted payment method before access to paid services is provided, unless APB expressly agrees otherwise.
7.5 Memberships apply only to the particular package and duration purchased. Access to one package does not automatically entitle subscribers to other APB products or services.
7.6 APB does not operate automatic subscription renewals or automatic recurring direct debits for its standard membership packages.
7.7 At the end of the purchased subscription period, membership expires unless the subscriber actively elects to purchase a further period.
7.8 No subscriber is required to renew their membership or enter into an additional subscription period.
7.9 APB may change its pricing, packages, inclusions and promotions for future purchases. Such changes do not retrospectively increase the price of a subscription already purchased.
8. Cancellation and No Refund Policy
8.1 APB operates a no-change-of-mind refund policy, subject to Australian Consumer Law and any other applicable legal requirements.
8.2 Please consider your purchase carefully before subscribing. As our services involve the provision of digital racing information, analysis and time-sensitive content, APB does not ordinarily provide refunds, partial refunds, credits or membership transfers for:
-
A change of mind or a decision not to continue following our service.
-
A subscriber's failure to use or access available content.
-
Losing selections, unsuccessful wagering or disappointing betting results.
-
Dissatisfaction with the number of winners, strike rate or profitability achieved.
-
A subscriber's decision to discontinue betting.
-
An inability to obtain advertised, quoted or historical wagering prices from a bookmaker.
-
An incorrect package selection made by the customer.
-
An unused portion of a subscription voluntarily cancelled by the subscriber.
8.3 Subscription fees purchase access to racing information and entertainment services. They do not purchase guaranteed winning selections or financial returns.
8.4 Customers may request cancellation of their membership at any time by contacting APB.
8.5 Because standard memberships do not automatically renew, cancellation does not create an obligation to make further payments. Unless otherwise agreed, a customer who cancels may continue to receive the purchased service until the paid subscription expires.
8.6 Nothing in this refund policy excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies available under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.
8.7 Where APB fails to provide a service in accordance with applicable consumer guarantees, the customer may be entitled to a remedy, including rectification, resupply, cancellation or a refund, depending on the nature and extent of the failure.
8.8 Refund requests should be submitted to APB in writing with the relevant purchase details and an explanation of the issue.
8.9 Where a refund is approved or legally required, APB will arrange payment through the original payment method where reasonably practicable. Processing times may depend on the payment provider and banking institutions.
9. Delivery, Availability and Service Interruptions
9.1 APB generally distributes its racing information through email, its website or other nominated digital channels.
